Is milk chocolate healthy for you to eat daily???

Question

I'm just curious about this bc my mom told me that my brother told her he feeds his daughter chocolate daily bc it's good for her. She's only 2 years old but I thought it wasn't good for you and only dark chocolate is good for your health but like once or twice a week cause it's fattening. Anyway I was wondering if there was an truth to the milk chocolate kind to be good for your health. I personally don't care much for milk chocolate but I do like dark chocolate

Answer

No it's not healthy to eat daily.

Answer

Dark chocolate that's at least 70% and above is good for you in moderation. Milk chocolate has no value except it tastes okay haha.

Answer

It needs to be around 80% cocoa to be considered a health food. And even then no more than two little squares a day for an adult!
There is no reason whatsoever to be giving such a young child chocolate on a regular basis. It can lead to bad eating habits, not to mention tooth decay! Eeek!!!

Answer

Too much sugar isn't good for you, and even dark chocolate should be eaten sparingly.

Answer

I've never heard of this or even seen anyone else even question it. I don't know where he heard that or if it's just an excuse he made up -- but why would he want to give so much sugar to a 2 year old daily anyway?! Weird!

My son didn't even know what chocolate was when he was 2. He's 4 now & has only eaten a small chocolate candy bar from the candy he got this past Halloween (every other day or so, over a span of about 3 weeks) & he's perfectly healthy!

Answer

If it's homemade (meaning, you mix the pure cocoa powder with milk), then I think that'd be fine a couple times a week. If it's premade or you're mixing store bought chocolate syrup with milk, then no, that's horrible. Chocolate should only be consumed several times a week max by adults, not daily. I would give my child chocolate milk as a treat absolutely no more than once a week, probably closer to a monthly treat.

Answer

It's not, but do you really want to quarrel with your brother? If you want to butt in, it needs to be done very sensitive or your brother will just ignore you and hate you too.

Answer

Milk chocolate is all sugar.

There's better things you could eat for the nutrition dark chocolate has to offer
